Our Approach

Our business was founded on the idea that many of life’s great moments are created around tables. High quality furniture can be passed down through generations, acting as centerpieces for years of memories. This philosophy inspired our slogan: A lifetime of memories, built around our tables. We accomplish this by prioritizing collaboration and quality.

Collaboration

Our focus is working one-on-one with you to create a unique one-of-a-kind design to fit your needs. We prioritize a customer-first approach, collaborating with you through every step of the project.

Quality

High quality materials are essential in the creation of durable furniture. We source only the highest quality of lumber, and focus on attention to detail, ensuring perfection all the way from design to final product.
